Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a vehicle illumination device, in particular to a low beam optical module.
- the present disclosure further relates to a low beam illumination module, a vehicle lamp and a vehicle including the low beam optical module.
- a region III beam shape is an important part of a low beam shape. As shown in a dashed box region in Figure 1 , the region III beam shape is located above a horizontal zero-degree line and is mainly configured to illuminate objects such as signboards above a road, so that a driver can obtain information of the signboards, etc.
- a minimum angle of the region III beam shape ranges from -8 to +8 degrees in a horizontal direction and from 0 to +4 degrees in a vertical direction. Since objects such as signboards are quite high in both reflectivity and contrast ratio, the region III has a quite low requirement on illuminance, a signboard can be recognized with a small quantity of light, and meanwhile, the light is prevented from affecting the sight of a coming car in the opposite direction as far as possible.
- a low beam optical element generally includes a light transmitting portion 1' and a light concentrating structure 2' disposed at a rear end of the light transmitting portion 1'.
- a low beam region III forming structure 3' is generally disposed at a lower surface of the light transmitting portion 1'.
- the arrangement of the low beam region III forming structure 3' may change the reflective light path of a part of light, and thus the final illumination region of this part of light is affected, in other words, the finally formed low beam shape may be affected to a certain extent.
- a light-shielding sheet is a non-transparent light-shielding sheet.
- the upper edge of the front end on the light-shielding sheet is provided with a low beam cutoff line structure for forming a low beam cutoff line, just in order to obtain a low beam shape with a low beam cutoff line.

- the non-transparent light-shielding sheet and a primary optical element at the rear end are arranged separately, resulting in large space occupation.
- the problem to be solved by the present disclosure is to provide a low beam optical module which can form a low beam region III beam shape without affecting a low beam shape and achieves light weight.

- a front end surface 12 and a rear end surface 13 of the light-shielding sheet body 1 are transparent.
- the light passing above the light-shielding sheet body 1 is used to form a low beam shape located below the low beam cutoff line a, and the light passing through or below the light-shielding sheet body 1 is used to form a low beam region III beam shape.
- the light-shielding sheet of the present disclosure enables the low beam optical module to form a low beam region III beam shape b without affecting the low beam shape.
- the front end surface 12 and the rear end surface 13 of the light-shielding sheet body 1 are configured to be transparent, so that light can pass through the light-shielding sheet body 1 to form the low beam region III beam shape b.
- the front end surface 12 and the rear end surface13 of the light-shielding sheet body 1 can also be configured as a boundary of the light forming the low beam shape located below the low beam cutoff line a and the light which forms the low beam region III beam shape b.

- the light-shielding sheet body 1 may be made from one or more of PC, PMMA or glass. Excluding the front end surface 12 and the rear end surface 13, the other end surfaces are each coated with a light shielding coating or are configured as total-reflection surfaces, so that light is basically prevented from being emitted from the other end surfaces. In this way, light can only be input or emitted through the front end surface 12 and the rear end surface 13.
- an upper surface 14 of the light-shielding sheet body 1 may be provided with a reflection enhancing coating or a reflection enhancing film; the reflection enhancing coating and the reflection enhancing film are configured to increase the reflectivity of light emitted to the upper surface 14 of the light-shielding sheet body 1, for example, the reflection enhancing coating is an aluminum coated layer, or polish lacquer, etc.
- a lower surface of the light-shielding sheet body 1 may also be provided with a reflection enhancing coating or a reflection enhancing film to increase the reflectivity of light passing through the light-shielding sheet body 1 and emitted to the lower surface 14 of the light-shielding sheet body 1 or increase the reflectivity of light emitted below the light-shielding sheet body 1 to the lower surface of the light-shielding sheet body 1.
- the front end surface 12 of the light-shielding sheet body 1 is a rear concave arc surface, so that light passing through the front end surface 12 can be concentrated to a lens 3, and accordingly the effect of the low beam region III beam shape is guaranteed, and the low beam cutoff line a can be kept clear as well.
- the present disclosure provides a low beam optical module.
- the low beam optical module includes at least one light concentrating portion 2, a lens 3 and a light-shielding sheet.
- the light concentrating portion 2 is connected to a rear end of the light-shielding sheet, and the lens 3 is arranged in front of the light-shielding sheet.
- the light concentrating portion 2 is a light concentrating cup, and an outer contour surface of the light concentrating cup is a curved structure of which an opening diameter is gradually increased from a rear end to a front end; or the light concentrating portion 2 is of a protruding structure which protrudes backwards with respect to the rear end surface 13 of the light-shielding sheet body 1, and both the light concentrating cup and the protruding structure can have a function of concentrating light.
- the rear end of the light concentrating portion 2 may be provided with a concave cavity 21 or may not be provided with the concave cavity 21.
- the rear end of the light concentrating portion 2 is provided with a concave cavity 21 with a light receiving opening in one embodiment of the present disclosure. That is, when the low beam optical module is in use, the opening of the concave cavity 21 faces toward a light source 5, as shown in Figure 9 or Figure 13 .
- a bottom of the concave cavity 21 is provided with a protrusion portion 22 which protrudes toward a side far away from the lens 3 in order to concentrate light better and improve the illumination effect.
- a light input surface of the light concentrating portion 2 may be a plane, or a convex curved surface or a concave curved surface.
- the lens 3 is a convex lens (as shown in Figure 15 ) or a Fresnel lens (as shown in Figure 16 ).
- the light-shielding sheet is the above light-shielding sheet; the outer contour surface of at least one light concentrating portion 2 is engaged with the lower surface of the light-shielding sheet body 1, so that a part of emitted light of the light concentrating portion 2 can enter the inside of the light-shielding sheet body 1 via the rear end surface 13 of the light-shielding sheet body 1 and can be refracted to the lens 3 via the front end surface 12 of the light-shielding sheet body 1; and then the light is projected by the lens 3 to form a low beam region III beam shape.
- the light-shielding sheet body 1 has a thickness of 0.5 mm to 5 mm.
- an optical surface can be adjusted to determine the direction of light to determine whether light is emitted to the low beam region III or not.
- the light concentrating portion 2 which forms a beam shape of a low beam central region is preferably larger than other light concentrating portions 2 in size, so that more light can be collected and can irradiate the low beam shape central region c.
- the lower surface of the light-shielding sheet body 1 is engaged with the outer contour surface of the light concentrating portion 2 which forms the beam shape of the low beam central region.
- the first part of the light emitted from this light concentrating portion 2 passes above the light-shielding sheet body 1 and enters the lens 3, wherein light emitted to the low beam cutoff line structure 11 on the light-shielding sheet body 1 forms low beam cutoff line light after refracted by the lens 3; the second part of the light is reflected to the lens 3 by the upper surface 14 of the light-shielding sheet body 1; the above two parts of light form the beam shape of the low beam central region after emitted from the lens 3; the third part of light enters the inside of the light-shielding sheet body 1 via the transparent rear end surface 13 of the light-shielding sheet body 1, this part of light is divided into two branches, one branch of light is directly emitted to the front end surface 12 of the light-shielding sheet body 1, the other branch of light is emitted out from the front end surface 12 after reflected by the light-shielding sheet body 1, and the two branches of light enters the lens 3 and forms the low beam region III beam
- the lower surface of the light-shielding sheet body 1 is still engaged with the outer contour surface of the light concentrating portion 2 which forms the beam shape of the low beam central region, and at the moment, the lower surface of the light-shielding sheet body 1 may be engaged with or may not be engaged with the outer contour surfaces of the other light concentrating portions 2.

- Referring to
Figure 4 to Figure 5 , a light-shielding sheet of the present disclosure includes a light-shieldingsheet body 1; an upper edge of a front end of the light-shieldingsheet 1 is provided with a low beamcutoff line structure 11; and the low beamcutoff line structure 11 is located at a front edge of an upper surface of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 and is used to form a low beam cutoff line a shown inFigure 1 . Afront end surface 12 and arear end surface 13 of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 are transparent. With the low beamcutoff line structure 11 as the boundary, the light passing above the light-shieldingsheet body 1 is used to form a low beam shape located below the low beam cutoff line a, and the light passing through or below the light-shieldingsheet body 1 is used to form a low beam region III beam shape. - The light-shielding sheet of the present disclosure enables the low beam optical module to form a low beam region III beam shape b without affecting the low beam shape. Specifically, the
front end surface 12 and therear end surface 13 of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 are configured to be transparent, so that light can pass through the light-shieldingsheet body 1 to form the low beam region III beam shape b. Thefront end surface 12 and the rear end surface13 of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 can also be configured as a boundary of the light forming the low beam shape located below the low beam cutoff line a and the light which forms the low beam region III beam shape b. In the above two cases, the light forming the low beam shape located below the low beam cutoff line a and the light which forms the low beam region III beam shape b do not affect each other, and the two cases both can form the low beam region III beam shape b without affecting the low beam shape. There is no need to arrange the low beam region III forming structure on other components and parts, so that convenient processing is realized. - The light-shielding
sheet body 1 may be made from one or more of PC, PMMA or glass. Excluding thefront end surface 12 and therear end surface 13, the other end surfaces are each coated with a light shielding coating or are configured as total-reflection surfaces, so that light is basically prevented from being emitted from the other end surfaces. In this way, light can only be input or emitted through thefront end surface 12 and therear end surface 13. - In the present disclosure, an
upper surface 14 of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 may be provided with a reflection enhancing coating or a reflection enhancing film; the reflection enhancing coating and the reflection enhancing film are configured to increase the reflectivity of light emitted to theupper surface 14 of the light-shieldingsheet body 1, for example, the reflection enhancing coating is an aluminum coated layer, or polish lacquer, etc. Similarly, a lower surface of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 may also be provided with a reflection enhancing coating or a reflection enhancing film to increase the reflectivity of light passing through the light-shieldingsheet body 1 and emitted to thelower surface 14 of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 or increase the reflectivity of light emitted below the light-shieldingsheet body 1 to the lower surface of the light-shieldingsheet body 1. - As a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the
front end surface 12 of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 is a rear concave arc surface, so that light passing through thefront end surface 12 can be concentrated to alens 3, and accordingly the effect of the low beam region III beam shape is guaranteed, and the low beam cutoff line a can be kept clear as well. - In a second aspect, the present disclosure provides a low beam optical module. The low beam optical module includes at least one
light concentrating portion 2, alens 3 and a light-shielding sheet. Thelight concentrating portion 2 is connected to a rear end of the light-shielding sheet, and thelens 3 is arranged in front of the light-shielding sheet. - The
light concentrating portion 2 is a light concentrating cup, and an outer contour surface of the light concentrating cup is a curved structure of which an opening diameter is gradually increased from a rear end to a front end; or thelight concentrating portion 2 is of a protruding structure which protrudes backwards with respect to therear end surface 13 of the light-shieldingsheet body 1, and both the light concentrating cup and the protruding structure can have a function of concentrating light. - The rear end of the
light concentrating portion 2 may be provided with aconcave cavity 21 or may not be provided with theconcave cavity 21. However, in order to improve the overall utilization efficiency of light, the rear end of thelight concentrating portion 2 is provided with aconcave cavity 21 with a light receiving opening in one embodiment of the present disclosure. That is, when the low beam optical module is in use, the opening of theconcave cavity 21 faces toward alight source 5, as shown inFigure 9 orFigure 13 . A bottom of theconcave cavity 21 is provided with aprotrusion portion 22 which protrudes toward a side far away from thelens 3 in order to concentrate light better and improve the illumination effect. When the rear end of thelight concentrating portion 2 is not provided with the concave cavity, a light input surface of thelight concentrating portion 2 may be a plane, or a convex curved surface or a concave curved surface. - To guarantee the beam shape effect, the
lens 3 is a convex lens (as shown inFigure 15 ) or a Fresnel lens (as shown inFigure 16 ). - As an embodiment of the low beam optical module of the present disclosure, as shown in
Figure 6 to Figure 9 , the light-shielding sheet is the above light-shielding sheet; the outer contour surface of at least onelight concentrating portion 2 is engaged with the lower surface of the light-shieldingsheet body 1, so that a part of emitted light of thelight concentrating portion 2 can enter the inside of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 via therear end surface 13 of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 and can be refracted to thelens 3 via thefront end surface 12 of the light-shieldingsheet body 1; and then the light is projected by thelens 3 to form a low beam region III beam shape. In this embodiment, the light-shieldingsheet body 1 has a thickness of 0.5 mm to 5 mm. In a light distribution process, an optical surface can be adjusted to determine the direction of light to determine whether light is emitted to the low beam region III or not. - Normally, in order to enhance the brightness of the low beam shape central region c, the
light concentrating portion 2 which forms a beam shape of a low beam central region is preferably larger than otherlight concentrating portions 2 in size, so that more light can be collected and can irradiate the low beam shape central region c. In an embodiment of the low beam optical module, the lower surface of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 is engaged with the outer contour surface of thelight concentrating portion 2 which forms the beam shape of the low beam central region. The first part of the light emitted from this light concentrating portion 2 passes above the light-shielding sheet body 1 and enters the lens 3, wherein light emitted to the low beam cutoff line structure 11 on the light-shielding sheet body 1 forms low beam cutoff line light after refracted by the lens 3; the second part of the light is reflected to the lens 3 by the upper surface 14 of the light-shielding sheet body 1; the above two parts of light form the beam shape of the low beam central region after emitted from the lens 3; the third part of light enters the inside of the light-shielding sheet body 1 via the transparent rear end surface 13 of the light-shielding sheet body 1, this part of light is divided into two branches, one branch of light is directly emitted to the front end surface 12 of the light-shielding sheet body 1, the other branch of light is emitted out from the front end surface 12 after reflected by the light-shielding sheet body 1, and the two branches of light enters the lens 3 and forms the low beam region III beam shape b after emitted out from the lens 3; light emitted from other light concentrating portions 2 is directly emitted to the lens 3 above the light-shielding sheet body 1 and is reflected to the lens 3 by the upper surface 14 of the light-shielding sheet body 1, and the light forms a low beam widening region beam shape after refracted by the lens 3. The beam shape of the low beam central region and the beam shape of the low beam widening region are overlapped to form a low beam shape located below the low beam cutoff line a. - Of course, if the
light concentrating portion 2 which forms the low beam shape central region has the same size as the otherlight concentrating portions 2, the lower surface of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 is still engaged with the outer contour surface of thelight concentrating portion 2 which forms the beam shape of the low beam central region, and at the moment, the lower surface of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 may be engaged with or may not be engaged with the outer contour surfaces of the otherlight concentrating portions 2. When the lower surface of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 is not engaged with the outer contour surfaces of the otherlight concentrating portions 2, lower portions of the otherlight concentrating portions 2 are slightly higher than the lower portion of thelight concentrating portion 2 which forms the beam shape of the low beam central region. At the moment, a light emission way is also the same as the above way. When the lower surface of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 is engaged with the outer contour surfaces of the otherlight concentrating portions 2, the light emission way is basically the same as the above way, however, a part of light of the otherlight concentrating portions 2 is also emitted out from the light-shieldingsheet body 1 to form the low beam region III beam shape b, and at the moment, the brightness of the low beam region III beam shape b is higher than that of the low beam region III shape b formed in other ways. However, as described above, objects such as signboards are quite high in both reflectivity and contrast ratio, so that the low beam region III has a quite low requirement on illuminance, and the signboards can be recognized with a small quantity of light. Moreover, in order to guarantee the illuminance in the low beam shape central region c, thelight concentrating portion 2 which forms the beam shape of the low beam central region is preferably larger than otherlight concentrating portions 2 in size, and the lower surface of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 is engaged with the outer contour surface of thelight concentrating portion 2 which forms the beam shape of the low beam central region. - In the above embodiment, light for forming the low beam region III beam shape b passes through the light-shielding
sheet body 1, which does not affect the low beam shape, also causes lower light loss and achieves a good light emission effect of the low beam region III beam shape b. - As another embodiment of the low beam optical module of the present disclosure, as shown in
Figure 10 to Figure 13 , the lower portion of at least onelight concentrating portion 2 is provided with a low beam region III formingstructure 4 which protrudes out from the lower surface of the light-shielding sheet. In this embodiment, the light-shielding sheet may be the above light-shieldingsheet body 1 described in the present disclosure. At the moment, the light-shielding sheet body 1 is thinner than that in the former embodiment of the low beam optical module (the thickness may be 0.5 mm to 2 mm); the first part of light concentrated by the light concentrating portion 2 passes above the light-shielding sheet body 1 and then enters the lens 3, wherein light emitted to the low beam cutoff line structure 11 on the light-shielding sheet body 1 forms a low beam cutoff line a after refracted by the lens 3, the second part of light is reflected to the lens 3 by the upper surface 14 of the light-shielding sheet body 1, and the above two parts of light form a low beam shape located below the low beam cutoff line a after emitted out from the lens 3; the third part of light is emitted out from the low beam region III forming structure 4, passes below the light-shielding sheet body 1, subsequently enters the lens 3 and forms a low beam region III beam shape b after emitted out from the lens 3; there is still a small quantity of light entering the thin light-shielding sheet body 1, however, as the light-shielding sheet body 1 is quite thin, the influences of the light can be ignored, or, the front end surface 12 of the light-shielding sheet body 1 is provided with a light shielding coating to prevent this part of light from being emitted out. - As a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the
light concentrating portion 2 and the light-shieldingsheet body 1 are formed as an integrated part. Compared with a solid light transmitting portion 1' of a low beam optical element in the prior art, the integrated part formed by thelight concentrating portion 2 and the light-shieldingsheet body 1 of the present disclosure is lighter in weight and smaller in size, and is in line with the lightweight development trend of the automotive industry. - More preferably, the
light concentrating portion 2, thelens 3 and the light-shieldingsheet body 1 are integrally arranged; as shown inFigure 14 to Figure 16 , two sides of thelens 3 are connected with two sides of thelight concentrating portion 2 by connectingplates 31, respectively; in this way, thelight concentrating portion 2, thelens 3 and the light-shieldingsheet body 1 are directly connected in a positioning manner; in a subsequent installation process, no positioning error is generated among the members; and therefore, the positioning precision and installation reliability among the members can be guaranteed, and accordingly a good light emission effect of a vehicle lamp is guaranteed. To further enhance the connection strength, a top surface or a bottom surface of each of the two connectingplates 31 may be additionally provided with a connecting strip or a connection enhancing plate for connecting the two connectingplates 31. - In a third aspect, the present disclosure provides a low beam illumination module, as shown in
Figure 9 to Figure 13 , the low beam optical illumination module includes the above low beam optical module andlight sources 5, and each light concentratingportion 2 is correspondingly provided with thelight source 5. A part of light emitted from thelight source 5 is directly emitted out from a light emitting surface of thelight concentrating portion 2 after refracted by theprotrusion portion 22 of theconcave cavity 21 of thelight concentrating portion 2; another part of light is refracted to the outer contour surface of thelight concentrating portion 2 via a circumferential surface of an inner side of theconcave cavity 21, and is then emitted out from the light emitting surface of thelight concentrating portion 2 after reflected by the outer contour surface of thelight concentrating portion 2; the above two parts of light form a low beam shape located below the low beam cutoff line a after refracted by thelens 3, wherein light emitted to the low beamcutoff line structure 11 on the light-shieldingsheet body 1 forms a low beam cutoff line a after refracted by thelens 3; and a small part of light is emitted out from thefront end surface 12 of the light-shieldingsheet body 1 or the low beam region III formingstructure 4, and forms a low beam region III beam shape b after refracted by thelens 3. - In addition, the present disclosure provides a vehicle lamp which includes the low beam optical module or the low beam illumination module provided by the above embodiments.
